I'm about the last one on this earth to get all gushy about Barack Obama's election to the presidency this week, and then I come across this Washington Post piece on a man who served in the White House kitchen under eight administrations and yet couldn't use white folks' bathrooms when he went home to Virginia at night, and remember why it is people still read newspapers.
Excerpting it wouldn't do it justice, so read it in its entirety.
Some more writing like Wil Haygood's and the newspaper business wouldn't be in the state it's in.
